onedrive.cync.service.exe disable how?

How do I disable onedrive.cync.service.exe? I don't care why it runs. I want it to stop running automatically. I don't have onedrive one so why is this running? 

Sync

    Quick Method

    1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager
    2. Find onedrive.cync.service.exe in the list
    3. Right-click it and select "End task"
    4. This stops it right now, but we need to prevent it from coming back

    Permanent Remove the Service

    Since the app isn't showing up normally, let's remove the service entirely:

    1. Press Windows Key + R, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter (this runs Command Prompt as Administrator)
    2. If prompted by User Account Control, click "Yes"
    3. In the black window, type this command and press Enter:

    sc stop "onedrive.cync.service"

          4. Then type this command and press Enter:

    sc delete "onedrive.cync.service"

    This directly removes the service so it can't run again.

     

    I hope this helps you
